One of the names who's been attached to this terrible idea is Joaquin Phoenix, who would invariably play the Clown Prince Of Crime from a script by Todd Phillips with Martin Scorsese - of all people - floating in the background somewhere.

However, in an interview with French outlet AlloCine, it looks like Joaquin Phoenix is pretty perplexed about the whole thing. "What movie about a Joker?... I have no idea what you're talking about..."

Take a look and judge for yourself, but it looks like Joaquin Phoenix has pretty much no clue whatsoever about it all.
